That he is a skeptic but sees the hollowness of the militant atheists is I think quite perceptive. His final statement, “I do know I’d never want to live in a world ruled by atheists“ resonates for me. I imagine that almost all reflective religious people wrestle with questions about how to reconcile an omnipotent, benevolent God with the world such as it is. But the world view of people who feel their highest calling is to mock Christians speaks of individuals nursing an enormous inferiority complex whose egos need to be constantly revalidated.

It’s the smugness that gets to me. It reeks of nine year olds pontificating about how much smarter they are than eight and a half year olds. We really should be trying to find some good in each other. I mostly can find common ground with anybody, except social justice types. Them I can’t stand.
